AIRSIDE VEHICLE CONTROL SECURITY

YOUR ROLE IN AVIATION SECURITY

Every person who works in the aviation industry has an important role to play. Basic security principles include:• know your role in security and understand the role of others• appreciate your contribution to the security effort• maintain vigilance at all times• trust your instincts• know your environment• commit to communicating with others about security• have a general understanding of potential security threats• communicate concerns• follow up• stay in touch

SECURITY

Security is a team effort and good communication is essential!

POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUES

Suspicious or unusual activity of any kind should be reported to the Security Contact Officer (SCO) immediately. Potential security issues can include:

• unattended baggage, including baggage left on a carousel• someone taking photos of a screening point• a person in a secure area with the wrong photo on their ASIC or deliberately

hiding the photo from view• an unattended car in an area not reserved for parking• someone attempting to ‘tailgate’ you into a secure area• a concealed package in a bathroom• receipt of a suspicious letter or parcel• receipt of a bomb threat by phone or mail.

SECURITY

REPORTING SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOUR

Identify suspicious behaviours with a simple checklist.• Is the person taking notes of security

vulnerabilities?• Do video and photo subjects have no credible

photographic interest?• Does the person have no legitimate reason for

being in an area?• Is the person collecting information from

promotional literature or inquiring about security?• Is the person travelling erratically and without

any real purpose?• Does the person appear to be testing security?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES, REPORT IT!!

SECURITY

Security is multi-layered

The Security Contact Officer (SCO) is responsible for overall Airport security.

QPS is responsible for responding to security incidents and providing their normal community policing.

Airport stakeholders are expected to report all incidents, security threats or security matters to the SCO.

The SCO must ensure that the aviation security incident is reported to all relevant organisations as set out by the Act and the Regulations.

INCIDENT REPORTING SECURITY

If you locate an unattended item:

• Attempt to identify the owner (name tag, airline, PA)

• Notify SCO

• Assess as suspect or not using HOTUP principle.

• If suspect, clear area and notify QPS.

UNATTENDED ITEMS

HOTUP Principle

Is the item/substance HIDDEN

Is the item/substance OBVIOUSLY SUSPICIOUS

Is the item/substance TYPICAL OF WHAT IS INTHE AREA

Is the item/substance UNUSUAL

SECURITY

BOMB THREAT

• If equipped, activate Malicious Call Trace (MCT) on your telephone.

• Alert supervisor to initiate trace/notify QPS/notify SCO.

• Gain as much information as possible (use bomb threat form).

• Keep talking (delaying tactics – ask questions, request repetitions).

• DO NOT HANG UP!

The call will be assessed as either genuine or hoax by the SCO in consultation with QPS.

“A situation where a person advises that an explosive

device has been placed or is threatened to be placed on an

aircraft or the airport”

SECURITY

STAYING SAFE AIRSIDE

To be safe airside, you need to build upon the skills and techniques you’ve learned operating vehicles and equipment landside.

Have the right attitude by being alert, focused and not distracted. If you're tired or fatigued it is harder to concentrate.

Take extra care when working for long periods or at night as this is when you are more likely to make mistakes.

SAFETY

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Airports can be busy and noisy places.

One of the most effective ways to stay safe airside is to be seen. High visibility clothing must be worn in accordance with Council Policy, i.e. Aircraft, vehicle and plant movement areas.

Additional PPE shall be required depending upon the location and type of work being performed.

SAFETY

PERMIT TO WORK

A Permit to Work is required for any works airside or landside.

You must contact Airport Management before you carryout any works at the Airport.

In addition to the normal WH&S approvals (e.g. hot works) additional approvals are required before conducting works Airside.

SAFETY

PRIOR APPROVALS SAFETY

Airport Management must approve and issue an Airport Permit to Work for the following type of work before you commence on site:

• Night Works: Application must be submitted by contractors 72 hours prior to night works.• Temporary Obstacles: On or near Rockhampton Airport, i.e. cranes.• Hot Works Permit & Risk Assessment: You must have a copy of your Hot Works Permit with you

on site and return it on completion.• Excavation Works: Dial before you Dig on Airport land.• Asbestos Works • Dust and Noise• Equipment Isolation• Air Conditioning• Electrical• Wall Penetration• Legislated High Risk Work: Boom lifts and forklifts.

FOD – FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS

Items lying around are referred to a Foreign Object Debris.

Any loose items - including tools, drink cans, food wrappers, nuts / bolts or sunglasses - can become dangerous missiles if caught in an engine’s jet blast.

SAFETY

SCAN & PREDICT

One of the most important skills of all is scanning – look around at regular and frequent intervals to maintain a sense of activity and traffic patterns around you.

When working or driving airside, scanning for vehicles, pedestrians and aircraft will also assist you toanticipate aircraft and vehicle movement ie. whether an aircraft will push back, or cross your path.

SAFETY

JET BLAST & PROP WASH

Propellers are very dangerous. Spinning propellers can appear invisible.

Do not approach aircraft if the rotating strobes, beacons or propellers are operational.

Propellers and jet engines can create strong blasts behind them. As you can’t see this blast directly, it’s referred to as an invisible danger.

You may, however, see evidence of the blast, such as hot disturbed air behind the engines.

SAFETY

JET BLAST & PROP WASH

Jet blast and prop wash occurs when the aircraft engines are operating.

The strength and effect of the jet blast or prop wash depends on the engine thrust setting. Even at low thrust settings (e.g. as the plane taxis), the jet blast or prop wash is very powerful.

Rotating beacons or strobes indicate when an aircraft engine is running or about to be started.

SAFETY

You should assume that any engine is ‘operational’ until you know otherwise.

Always keep well clear of the front of aircraft whenever the beacons or strobes are operating.

Some jet engines are capable of sucking a person into the engine.

Specific training is required for personnel operating in front of aircraft when their engines are operating.

You must not walk, drive or operate equipment in front of a moving aircraft if there’s a chance it will cause the aircraft to slow, stop or change course.

MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCES SAFETY

MINIMUM SAFE DISTANCES

You must not drive within 3 metres of a parked aircraft, unless you are actually involved in servicing the aircraft.

3 m

If the aircraft is being fuelled or defuelled, you must not drive within 15 metres, unless you’re actually involved in servicing the aircraft.

SAFETY

For moving aircraft; wherever possible you must keep more than 10 metres away from the nearest wing tip.

To prevent your vehicle being affected by jet blast, as a general rule you shouldn’t venture any closer than 2 aircraft body-lengths from the rear of the aircraft. You may need to leave more distance behind high performance military aircraft.

Ground handling agents may leave ground servicing equipment in designated marked areas on the apron in readiness for servicing incoming flights.

These areas ensure service vehicles keep clear of manoeuvring aircraft.

PARKING EQUIPMENT AREAS SAFETY

A pass mark of 100% is required!
